residential district
Where people live
A residential district is an area zoned primarily for housing rather than commercial or industrial use.
Zoning laws typically restrict what can be built there—limiting businesses, factories, and building heights to preserve neighborhood character.
The city council rezoned part of the residential district to allow mixed-use development.
